    Sheep Dip Blended Whisky (20cl)

    Sheep Dip's peculiar name comes from a time when farmers hid their home-made whisky from the nosey excise officers in barrels marked "sheep-dip".

    Today Sheep Dip is a "vatted" or blended malt which is made up of sixteen single malts. The single malts in Sheep Dip are mainly Highland, but blended with delicate Speyside malts and smoky Islay malts. These single malts are married in fresh American oak barrels to produce this whisky.

    Winner of many awards, including "International Wine and Spirits Gold Medal 2004 and 2005."

    Blended Whisky

    Blended whisky is an artful marriage of different types of whiskies, typically combining grain whiskies with malt whiskies from various distilleries. This blending process aims to achieve a balance, creating a whisky with a harmonious flavour profile where the strengths of each component are highlighted, while any potential weaknesses are cleverly masked. Blended whiskies offer a consistent taste across batches, making them a favourite for both new whisky drinkers and connoisseurs alike. They can vary widely in style, often providing a smoother, more approachable character than single malts, and are perfect for enjoying neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation for a cocktail. Each blend is a unique recipe, often kept secret by master blenders, showcasing their expertise in creating a spirit that's greater than the sum of its parts.
